I want to locally test this GitHub Pages site: GitHub - opengenomebrowser/opengenomebrowser.github.io: Tutorials, documentation and installation instructions for OpenGenomeBrowser ). I followed these instructions. In brief, I did this: $ sudo dnf install ruby ruby-devel openssl-devel redhat-rpm-conf…

Thanks for the info. Actually, I initially tried docker-based installs but ran in to version-based troubles. Probably because I didn’t know about pages.github.com/versions . Very professional video, btw! You’re a great narrator. A few details I noticed: Some of the commands in your repo contain “…

Glad you worked it out! Here’s my default .gitignore that will help reduce the amount of file’s and code that get tracked in Git: _site/ .sass-cache/ .jekyll-cache/ .jekyll-metadata **/.DS_Store .bundle/ vendor/ The DS_Store element is for MacOS, so you can leave it in .gitignore add that to Git …

Thank you for the feedback. However, I will push back a little. It is 100% suitable to working with GitHub Pages. If you are using an existing site, you do not run the jekyll new command because you already cloned a site so you don’t need to create a new one. Here are the steps: Clone your GH Pag…

By all means, do push back. :smile: I still don’t properly understand how this works. My main question is this: My gh-pages repo contains no Gemfile, which is required for bundle install, right? Following your instructions, none was created. What am I missing?

@MrTomRod A Gemfile is just a tool to aid in dependency-management. If your local Ruby installation doesn’t have multiple versions of Jekyll (and its runtime dependencies), then you need not require a Gemfile (and therefore Bundler) at all. You may simply run jekyll serve to start the local webserv…

Sorry to bother you once more. Here is the github repo with the Dockerfile: GitHub - opengenomebrowser/opengenomebrowser.github.io at... local-serve-without-gemfile Tutorials, documentation and installation instructions for OpenGenomeBrowser - GitHub - opengenomebrowser/opengenomebro…

Assuming you have set up the visual studio extensions and installed Docker, follow the steps in the link below, starting at step 4. At step 7, do not run this command: bundle exec jekyll new --force --skip-bundle . Should work! Let me know if it doesn’t and I’m happy to take a look at the repo. …

I don’t use visual studio, unfortunately. I’m creating and starting the containers manually. I tried to follow the tutorial. Some notes on the steps, maybe this will make it clearer: Does not apply, using pre-existing repo Does not apply, using pre-existing repo I installed the latest docker on m…

My instructions work if you are cloning or creating, but if you are not using Visual Studio Code, as my tutorial requires, then I see what the problem is :-). Sorry I cannot help you further with that particular request. If you do decide to use VSC, then it works great!

your screenshots show there are markdown files still in there. The screen shot a couple posts above this is what you see when you do jekyll serve? there should not be an index.md file, maybe your issue is the content of the files? what is the content of index.md? if it is what is in that repo then …

@BillRaymond Thanks anyway! @rdyar The screen shot a couple posts above this is what you see when you do jekyll serve? Yes, exactly. there should not be an index.md file, maybe your issue is the content of the files? what is the content of index.md? You can see the full repo here . But I kn…

I edited index.md and it worked! (I used my hacky setup to test.)
